Price it Right
Den europeiske kampanjen Price it Right er lansert av European Illustrators Forum (EIF), hvor Grafill er en av 18 medlemsorganisasjoner. Vi støtter helhjertet denne kampanjen, som blant annet oppfordrer begge avtaleparter til klare og transparente forhandlinger om pris.
Price it Right is a new campaign which the European Illustrators Forum launched in March 2018. The campaign supports illustrators and commissioners to be confident in pricing and negotiating work. We know that effective negotiation takes place with clear and effective pricing and clarity on fees. This benefits both illustrator and commissioner. The campaign builds on the shoulders of excellent don’t work for free campaigns.
Why is the campaign needed? #
Confidence in Pricing
Illustration has a logical pricing structure, with commissioners paying for what they want (and not what they don’t need) with a licence. It’s a straightforward system, but one which needs to be clearly priced. We recognise that some illustrators and commissioners are not always confident in pricing commissions.
Valuing Illustration
Sometimes assumptions are made about usage which are not reflected in the offered fee. This can lead to illustration being devalued, and the licencing model ignored.
Supporting Business
Negotiation is always part of pricing, but those negotiations should be informed and come from a place of clarity. All work should be priced following the standard criteria of usage of the illustration, duration of the licence and the territory the licence will cover.
What will the campaign achieve? #
Clear, transparent negotiations.
The value of illustration being maintained.
Increased confidence and understanding of pricing commissions.

– I’ve learned over the years never to be rushed into making a pricing decision. Certainly don’t start quoting figures verbally, off the top of your head as soon as you’ve been contacted about a job. Do your research, get advice, compare with other jobs you’ve done and be sure to get as much information from your client about the potential job so you can quote more accurately - and tell them that. If you present your quote confidently and clearly laid out, then it will be taken more seriously and more likely to be accepted.
